Chris, Your Mom, Ruth, was one of the most wonderful women I have had the priviledge to meet. I'm very sorry for your loss and that I was not able to be there for you during this time of grief. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you always, Grace

Dear Ruthie
I will never forget you and all your insirpiring notes. You gave one heck of a fight. We did have fun at our 50th reunion, and was so happy to see you there. I will forever cherish our class picture. You are at peace now, and Hal has wonderful memories of your driving all over with the top down on your convertible. Peace be with you for ever.
Much love,

Ruth, your enduring love and commitment to your family has always been such an inspiration to me. You raised four wonderful children and truly loved being a "Mom". You were a big part of any celebration in our family - graduations, weddings, christenings and family gatherings. You will always have a special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathies go to the Kerrigan family in the loss of a wonderful woman, wife and mother.

Ruth was truly a kind, lovely and beautiful person. I will always remember your smile, laugh and kind voice. I loved visiting you in Florida and was so happy when you came to my daughter's wedding. You will truly be missed and my condolences to Harrold and your children.

What the world has lost, heaven has gained. Ruth Kerrigan was one of the most inspiring women I've known. She left a big mark on my life on how to live life to its fullest and to enjoy what you have.

Ruth you fought a long hard fight over the past year. I think of our time in Florida, talking, laughing and crying. Find peace and happiness on this new journey you have embarked on. As I promised I will watch over Harold and Brian. We all will keep you in our heart.
